Pilotless????? Remotely Piloted Vehicle - there is a pliot!
Oh and by the way, a plane takes a couple of inches of the bottom of a door so it can shut better!

Isn't that the small dim thing that makes bigger flames light?
I don't think I've ever seen a plane that takes off a few inches with a single pass, maybe you're thinking of a chainsaw?
DT_Xtremez_30:A plane is also a flat surface...
DT_Xtremez_26:Edit to add: Is an autopilot a pilot?

The aircraft does not have a pilot on board therefore is pilotless, however it is piloted or controlled by pilot who is not in the airborne vehicle.
Sorry not looked at the link, but I don't think the other posters have either.
